Embers Ad Infinitum

Seeing that the "Vice Dean" was not captured once, the "New World" experts who were watching immediately went to other streets through nearby alleys and collapsed houses, detouring to the tower.

The "Vice Dean" did not pay attention to them, but still stared at Chen Wen, Liu Chuan and others who were approaching him.

Suddenly, his palms on the armrests tightened.

His light blue eyes instantly became dark, as if they were contaminated by black ink.

In the deep darkness, buildings emerged one after another, shining with varying numbers of lights, like projections of the "New World".

The projection gradually enlarged and settled on a brightly lit high-rise building.

Behind the "Vice Dean", not far away, the same building stood quietly, with yellowish or pure white lights reflected in every window on every floor.

Immediately afterwards, two lights in the "Vice Dean's" eyes grew bigger and bigger, occupying every part of his eyes.

Woo!

Amidst the violent wind, a huge vortex of air flow stood out in front of the "Vice Dean".

It was dyed with the color of lights and exuded a terrifying suction force, making Chen Wen, Liu Chuan, Shang Jianyao and the two "New World" strongmen carrying Flora and Barnard look like weightless sheets. The paper floated up irresistibly and was thrown into the center of the whirlpool.

"He is borrowing the power of 'Zhi Sui'!" Shang Jianyao was very familiar with this feeling and shouted loudly.

But the terrifying suction pulled his voice into pieces and scattered in the wind.

At this moment, a black shadow separated from Liu Chuan who was struggling in mid-air.

It swayed and grew bigger and bigger, and it instantly felt like a building.

This huge black shadow took advantage of the wind and rushed to the front of the whirlpool before Chen Wen, Shang Jianyao and others, then opened its arms and hugged it tightly.

Amid the roaring wind, a huge black shadow filled the center of the whirlpool.

The two are like matter and antimatter colliding, and both are annihilated at once.

Along with the annihilation, violent "huge waves" rushed in all directions, slamming Shang Jianyao and others who were in mid-air to the ground.

The "Vice Dean" was not spared either. He was thrown up and hit a big hole in the surface of a building behind him.

The "big wave" subsided slightly, and Chen Wen, Liu Chuan and others quickly got up.

In the "new world", they are just conscious beings. Such injuries will not cause them to obtain additional "states" such as internal bleeding, comminuted fractures, and concussions, nor will they leave any sequelae or affect their next actions. .

Of course, they were not completely unscathed, which consumed a large part of their energy.

However, except for Shang Jianyao, the other powerful people in the "New World" have made preparations in advance. They have prepared multiple humans around their bodies. Once their spirits fall to the critical point, they will immediately extract their consciousness to replenish themselves.

puff!

Shang Jianyao felt sorry for the scene just now without spitting out a mouthful of blood, so he deliberately embodied the corresponding things.

Liu Chuan glanced at the big hole in the building in front of him and shouted to his companions:

"Let's get through here as quickly as possible and don't get stuck with the 'Vice Dean'!"

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao always responded positively.

Deng Deng Deng, the other two "New World" strongmen carried Flora and Barnard on their backs, followed Liu Chuan, Chen Wen, and Shang Jianyao, and ran wildly across the door that the "Vice Dean" had crashed into. That house.

As soon as they ran more than ten meters, the "Vice Dean's" wheelchair suddenly flew out of the big hole.

It fell steadily to the ground and turned half a circle, allowing the "Vice Dean" to directly see the backs of Shang Jianyao and others.

Flora didn't need to run by herself. She had been paying attention to the situation here. When she saw this, she immediately shouted:

"Wall of air!"

Except for Shang Jianyao's lack of tacit understanding and not knowing what to do in a short period of time, Barnard, Liu Chuan, Chen Wen and others simultaneously turned their bodies halfway and used the ability of "interference with matter" ten meters back.

The hurricane that passed through the streets solidified there, being compressed layer by layer into a wall of air visible to the naked eye.

This wall blocked the front of the "Vice Dean", making the enemy's figure in his light blue eyes somewhat blurry.

Before the air wall was formed, he had already slapped the handrail and made the electric wheelchair slide up on its own, faster than Shang Jianyao and others were running.

Seeing that he was about to hit the wall of air, the "Vice Dean" hurriedly pressed somewhere on the armrest and braked suddenly.

With a squeaking sound, the electric wheelchair stopped in time.

On the other side, after Liu Chuan and others worked together to create the wall of air, they did not stop, but turned back and continued running.

As the power was removed, the wall of air compressed layer by layer could no longer be maintained and expanded suddenly.

The compression just now was so extreme, and the expansion now is so exaggerated that it directly caused an explosion.

Boom!

The air wall disintegrated into a terrifying shock wave, slamming all around.

The "Vice Dean" directly opposite was naturally not spared. He was directly blown away and crashed into the ruins formed by the collapsed building beside the road.

Wow! The ruins collapsed further under the shock wave, burying the "Vice Dean" inside.

Shang Jianyao twisted his body and saw this scene while running. He couldn't help but raise his palms and applaud Flora, Barnard and others for their tacit understanding.

At the same time, with the intensity of the earthquake, some of the brightly lit houses around the tower could no longer support themselves and collapsed.

The lights inside turned into countless fragments, some flew back to the tower, some fell to the ground, or some floated elsewhere.

"Aren't they all 'Zhuang Sheng's' lamps?" Shang Jianyao, who could keep up with the large army even after applauding for a while, saw this and said in shock.

The strong wind filled his mouth and suppressed his voice quite a bit.

"It's just fragments." Although Chen Wen ran fast, he was running at a constant speed.

At this time, Liu Chuan suddenly shouted:

"careful!"

Several pieces of light fragments flew over.

Shang Jianyao was just like playing a game, jumping, rolling and jumping forward, perfectly dodging them.

The next second, he looked through the gap between the collapsed buildings and saw on another street, a certain "New World" strongman who had taken a detour to the tower before was unable to dodge and was hit by a piece of light fragments.

For a moment, this "new world" powerhouse was ignited.

He let out a shrill scream and rolled twice while supported by a human-shaped torch. Then, the "fire" and the person were completely extinguished and disappeared without a trace.

Liu Chuan, who only knew that the light fragments were dangerous but didn't know where the danger lay, focused his eyes and slowed down.

With a weak personality, he began to be afraid to move forward.

If he hadn't known about his shortcomings and asked "Truth" to modify certain memories and undergo deep hypnosis, he would definitely not be able to hold on now.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded for his dodge just now.

For some reason, they did not encounter any obstruction from "Charlie", "Professor Li" and others during their subsequent run, and the "Vice Dean" also failed to catch up.

In this way, they arrived outside the tower amidst the falling stones, scattered light fragments, violent hurricanes and cracks in the ground that kept appearing.

This tower reaches deep into the sky, and the lights on each floor are extremely bright, in sharp contrast to the dark sky around it.

Its door is very ordinary, about two people high, split, wooden, and reddish brown.

Shang Jianyao jumped up the steps, stretched out his hands, and pushed open the door.

But no matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't budge.

"Wait a minute," Barnard said shakily.

Shang Jianyao retracted his hand and looked at the old man lying on his companion's back.

Barnard explained:

"'Truth' said, He will help us open it."

As soon as Barnard finished speaking, the two-person high reddish-brown wooden door made a creaking sound and slowly opened back.

The Eighth Research Institute, in that small city

Jiang Baimian, who knew the beginning of the unrest, sneaked here again and lurked at the edge of the area where the nuclear power plant and the spiral building were located.

She waited for a while and found that many "unintentional people" became very anxious.

Gradually, they became violent, no longer sticking to their posts, fighting each other, or flocking to the outskirts of the city to escape.

"Is this one of the effects of the turmoil in the 'New World' on reality?" Jiang Baimian was not in a hurry to go out. He did not use "Mirror World" until there were only a few "unintentional people" left in the area who were red-eyed. Step by step, he got closer to the vortex-shaped building.

As long as she can see the target directly, she won't get lost at the moment, and it doesn't take long to reach the place where the "unintentional disease" sign would have appeared.

Her head throbbed again and she had to take a few steps back.

"The turmoil hasn't reached its climax yet?" Jiang Baimian muttered to himself silently.

She stood there, staring at the whirlpool-shaped building, and waited patiently.

A few minutes later, she saw invisible things surrounding the target building suddenly disintegrate and turn into clouds of air blowing into the distance.

Jiang Baimian's heart moved and he immediately moved forward.

This time, when she crossed that critical line, she no longer had the headache and dizziness.

Jiang Baimian, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, took three steps and two steps at a time and quickly arrived at the door of the vortex-shaped building.

She immediately stretched out her hands and pressed against the metal door.
